I spotted this provocative little comment in a New York Times Book Review item on current books about
raising children:
“Wait, I just put my kid’s
painting on the fridge and said ‘I love it,’ not ‘I love you.’”
I don’t think you should
necessarily look here for deep wisdom or a magic prescription for raising
beautiful, smart, happy kids….
I do think it’s a potent reminder
to talk directly to your kids, express your love directly, engage them directly
as you and they live life on the run, remember that the refrigerator art is, in
fact, mostly ugly, but loving your children is beautiful….
